Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KAT3 not functioning on 6m

The K3 allows split in data modes, but only provided both VFOs are already in data mode. The K3 will not allow cross-mode split between Data and CW/SSB. If you are seeing "SPL N/A" when you try to enable split with VFO A in a Data mode, what that tells me is that VFO B is in CW or SSB, not in Data

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KAT3 not functioning on 6m

Bill, The K3 only allows the “split” mode for SSB and/or CW to be enabled, at least from panel. Trying to enable split in any other mode, the VFO B window flashes “N/A”. You may have different indications / results if the split command is sent via the CAT, and a mode other than CW or SSB is

OK, I figured this out, sort of. Every time I’ve had trouble with the KAT3 not tuning, the K3 has been in split mode. By taking the K3 out of split mode, I’m able to turn on 6m correctly. Oddly, though, when I return to split mode, it still works. I’m not sure why I see this issue, but I’m gl

Bill, I had an issue very similar. The “Automatic TXGain” procedure is performed at 52 MHz. I was using a 50 ohm load attached, and at 50.125 the KAT3 have trouble matching the load. Also it appears there is not enough power out in the lower part of the band for the SWR bridge to function.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility Restore config error

Thanks for the idea, unfortunately the problem persists. This makes me a bit more nervous than before as I have done quite a bit of upgrading lately (144MHz, Reflock, TCXO) and I had a fault in the tuner (capacitor blown), and now the refclock is off by 220Hz. Did anybody else had the problem

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Audio Peaking Filter

We just added dual-passband APF to the K4. It's very effective at higher code speeds. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Jun 22, 2020, at 10:51 AM, Roger D Johnson wrote: > > Unfortunately, the APF is too narrow for 160m with all the lightning noise. > As I recall, we've been promised wider selectivity cho

Unfortunately, the APF is too narrow for 160m with all the lightning noise. As I recall, we've been promised wider selectivity choice(s) but nothing ever happened. 73, Roger On 6/22/2020 12:27 PM, John Gibson wrote: Each Sunday evening, I use my K3 #820 to try to check into Kevin’s 20m Elecraf

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] RTTY Setup

Hi John, experienced this once or twice myself. There is a setting in N1MM+ to check. From the N1MM+ log entry window, select Config, Mode Control and in the combo box against "Mode RTTY" select "AFSK" for the appropriate Radio/VFO. That may also resolve your hung PTT; VOX should then work. Good

That is a KIO3B, Not a KXV3B. One is for computer & AuxIO communications, the other has BNC connectors for various RF functions. 73! Jack, W6FB > On Jun 19, 2020, at 2:24 PM, Nr4c wrote: > > I believe it’s 3 boards. It included a back panel board with USB and a RJ45 > that replaces the DE-9

Re: [Elecraft] K3 upgrade

I believe it’s 3 boards. It included a back panel board with USB and a RJ45 that replaces the DE-9 for serial connection. If you have a P3 there is a “Y” cable that connects the TJ45 to the two P3 serial ports. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jun 18, 2020, at 11:11 PM, HP wrote: > >

Hi Hank; The KXV3, in any revision, is a two-board set that is already soldered together. You replace the whole thing, never are they taken apart. Keith WE6R, Elecraft K3 Tech __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailma

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] RTTY Setup

1) Are you changing bands on the rig or by using N1MM+? a) If "rig" - Data Mode is stored by band. Change it on each band. b) If "N1MM+" - be sure to set "Digital Modes" to AFSK Second, the K3 is staying in Transmit after the RTTY message is finished. I usually have to press the XMIT butt

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - No RF output - Fault resolved

Very many thanks to everyone who responded to my request for help. Happily the fault turned out to be something very simple. Rob at Elecraft suggested the LPA FETs may have failed as the current measurements I had taken indicated the FETs were not drawing the bias current they should be. I checked

It seems at least possible that the polyphonic audio bleat is being produced by feedback somehow occurring between LIN IN and LIN OUT on the KIO3. Two possibilities - either the sound card has failed in this peculiar way, or there is some setting, either in my WIN 10 computer's sound settings
